Events App

The Events App in CamBuildr makes it easy to organize, promote, and manage events of all kinds—from small local gatherings to large-scale campaign events. Events can be created both by admins and registered users and are displayed on a public event map. Visitors can filter events by location, category, and date, and sign up to participate. Event hosts can share updates with participants, while admins have full moderation control over content and changes.

Events are a great tool for mobilizing supporters and organizing meetups. Once published, each event becomes accessible via a public page and visible on the central map-based event overview. Supporters can RSVP, and you can track signups and reach directly in your CamBuildr backend.

Each event includes all relevant information—title, date and time, location, description, contact info, and participant list. The event creator becomes its host, gaining the ability to edit event details and post updates. Events can be categorized, moderated, or limited in capacity. A filterable event map ensures users can quickly find the right actions near them.

Events are created on the The Public Event Page itself. To create one, go to the page, click Create Event, and fill in the relevant fields. You will automatically become the host. Once saved, the event appears in the backend dashboard and on the public map.

In the Settings tab, you can define whether moderation is enabled, add tags, insert custom styles or scripts, and link the event to a specific theme. The Form tab lets you configure consents and legal disclaimers. If required, you can also limit the number of participants.

Admins can additionally set up Categories to group and filter events. These categories help structure large volumes of events and are displayed publicly in the event overview. You can configure whether events in a category are visible, postable, or require moderation. Certain Categories can also be set, so only admins can create them.

Each event has an update section visible on its public detail page. Event hosts can use this to share messages with their attendees—for example, to confirm details, announce schedule changes, or provide follow-ups. These updates are shown in a dedicated feed on the event’s page and can be deleted or edited by the host at any time. If moderation is enabled, updates will require approval before being published.

Each event has a dedicated frontend page. It displays all the event details and includes a signup button for participants. The system will automatically track how many people signed up and prevent further signups if a participant limit is configured.

When logged in, event hosts will see edit buttons next to editable fields. These allow them to quickly adjust time, location, description, or contact info. Only the event host sees these links - regular users see the clean public version.

Participants also see a list of recent updates and have options to share the event directly via Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram, or a copy link button.

Under the Automated Emails tab, you can configure custom messages to be sent based on participation. For example, an email could be sent to each new signup thanking them for registering and sharing event logistics. These emails can be edited to include event-specific details and are fully trackable in terms of delivery, open, and click rates.

If moderation is enabled, newly created events and updates will be held for approval. You can moderate events centrally via the moderation panel. Once approved, the events appear publicly on the map. This allows full control over content, even in open campaigns where many users can create events.
